How sad. She was a riot.

Cancer sucks

I always remember her as Mrs. Landingham on The West Wing. So sad to hear this.

So sad. Rest in peace, Mrs. Landingham.

Cancer does suck.

Died on the finale, then died in real life less than a month later

How did McKlusky die?

She'll always be Mrs. Landingham to me.

I've no doubt she'll be just as strict about who gets to have a cookie in heaven as she was in the Oval Office.

Whoa.... I just watched the Desperate Housewives finale last night. She died from cancer on the show too. She was such a talent.

Sad. It's good that she Was able to work up until almost the end - as well as Desperate Housewives, she popped up on The Mentalist last season too. I didn't realize at the time, but now it makes her last storyline in DH all the more poignant.

Can she sing? She'd have made an excellent Madame Armfeldt.

It's kind of poetic, how life is imitating art. RIP Karen McCluskey.

I am pretty sure they had life imitate art intentionally. This is her second bout with cancer, unless I am mistaken. She was on Bold and the Beautiful a while back talking about surviving cancer. She's a big advocate. She was a very brave woman.

I find it really fascinating that she didn't start acting until she was 42-years-old. She really deserved those two Emmys for Desperate Housewives, and I can only assume that she will win another one this year.

Loved her as Mrs. Landingham on West Wing. Remember how Mrs. L departed from West Wing via an accident in the new car she had just purchased? Sad X 2.

She never did get to teach President Bartlett how to use the intercom.

"You know if you don't want to run again, I respect that. But if you don't run cause you think it will be too hard or you think you're going to lose, well, God, Jed, I don't even want to know you."
